Roasted Tomato Pasta

ROASTED TOMATO PASTA

Simple, quick and fresh tasting, this roasted tomato pasta dish can be served hot or cold – so it’s great for both cool or warm weather. The rich, flavoursome tomato taste is perfectly balanced with the balsamic vinegar and the fresh basil finishes off the meal perfectly. Inexpensive, easy and nutritious, this is a fabulous option for those doing meat- free days of the week with their family.

With so few ingredients, it is important that each ingredient is as fresh as possible and the great gluten-free pasta options available make this a definite winner, even for those with gluten intolerances or allergies. I would definitely recommend using juicy fresh tomatoes instead of tinned tomatoes.

I hope that you enjoy this meal as much as our family does! We sometimes crumble some feta over the top, just before we tuck in. Also delicious served with some salad leaves on the side.
